The Sandman is seventeen-year-old Nora’s closest friend and best-kept secret—he has to be if she doesn’t want a one-way ticket back to the psychiatrist. It took her too long to learn not to mention the hooded figure in her dreams around her mother, who still watches Nora as if she’ll crack. So when people around Nora start dying gruesome deaths in their sleep, she already knows how her otherworldly suspicions will be received. The Sandman is the only person Nora can turn to for answers, but the truth can sometimes be more than one bargained for.
